Deep thoughts

This afternoon, someone spit out of the window of their car. I swerved to avoid it.

Plan

Here's my new plan for today, since my first one was spoiled by a super duper migraine. Yes I am blogging in the dark with the screen intensity turned way down - no, I don't care about colors and light or much of anything today. I did brush my teeth though - you're welcome.

7:00: call in due to migraine screaming at my head. why does it do that?
8:15: get scared awake by worried 3rd shift husband thinking i overslept
8:16: back to sleep
noon: finally get up.
12:15: attempt some lunch, do a halfway decent job at it; give rest to dog.
12:45: watch law and order with sunglasses on - yes i did.
2:00: take dog outside with my sunglasses on again - that did not help my cause.
3:30ish: blog with lights down
3:45: 1st laundry load with sunglasses on again
4:00: finish cutting coupons from yesterday
5:00: 2nd laundry load

None of these things require very many neurons to fire, so lucky me. If hub doesn't have to work tonight, then he gets the fun stuff like cleaning the bathroom toilets, the litterbox, washing the dog, and vacuuming the whole house. That was most of my original plan for the day.

I love Sprite. I can tell I don't feel good when I start putting it away like I'm a CO2 addict. Nothing else tastes good when I'm not well.

Mister Manatee,

I don't know what you are, but you are awesome. You are right up there with the beluga whale, sea turtle, and the owl for me.

I know that you swim and are a mammal and can pose long enough to make a fine piece of jewelry, but that's all I know about you. Why are you endangered, buddy?

So, I shall do what I can to save you. I will buy the manatee pendant from Shana Logic and support your fund Save the Manatee. As soon as I get another paycheck, that is.

not-so-lazy sunday

Gamecocks win 38-19 against Furman!  Stephen Garcia tore it up! 

Vacation prep didn't really happen yesterday, at least on the scale I intended. 

Here's today's schedule.  Let's see if I follow it:
10:45: get up (slept in for once)
1:00: finally shower
2:00: Blog/check internet for coupon deals
2:20 flat-iron hair
2:30: go get newspapers for weekly circulars
3:30: Cut coupons; do 1st load of laundry
4:00: clean part of kitchen
4:45: 2nd load of laundry
5:00: prep dinner
6:00 3rd laundry load/put up or pack 1st & 2nd
6:30: clean bathroom 
sometime tonight: make list of vacation items to take or buy there

rest is unplanned at the moment.

I do my best work after in the PM.  Hence the above plan.

Vacation Pending

I am prepping for vacation as I write this.  I forgot how much planning must go into getting things packed and ready.  Well, that plus cleaning up the house so we don't come home to a mess.

Friend has volunteered to babysit Houdini Dog; that's $80 we don't have to spend having her boarded.  Thankfully she knows her temperament.

Hoping to get another friend or maybe my mom to come check on the pids.  They can pretty much fend for themselves, but four days without a litter scoop and fresh water/food would not be good.

Currently reading: Vampires Diaries, Book 3.  Might have take it with me if I don't read it fast enough.

Oh, and GO GAMECOCKS!

update

I'm off to start another daily adventure in the life of Kiki. Vacation soon! Going to the beach (haven't been there for purposes of relaxation in 10 years). Woo! Obviously excited.

Traffic

Traffic sucks. In case you weren't aware. I would rather be home right now watching tub caulk dry.

Yuck

Every time I watch that show Hoarders, I find myself cleaning by the end of it.  Do you?  Or am I just that paranoid?  Probably a little of both, you say?  

 

At the same time, though, that show makes me sad sometimes.  I'm sure this will come at no surprise, but if there are no children involved, I feel the worst for the poor pets who have been given no choice but to put up with that squalor.

 

It makes me feel grateful that I have a clean home.

 

Wow...

Two of my peeves (come on, can you even handle more than that right now?)

If you feel the need to tell me you're cool, you're really not. Cool people are cool on their own. Besides, do you really want to be cool? Everybody's doing it. Do something on your own for once. I do. It's called having a unique identity or personality. It took me one day out of middle school to realize that those people I tried so hard to be like or be around were just as insecure as me.

I love it how kids say "I'm getting ___ for Christmas." Oh really? If I were your Mom and I heard you say that and I actually had bought the item, it'd be returned that day. And then I'd probably flick you on your forehead. Spoiled brat. You're why some people don't want kids.

You're in treble now

Too cute. Accidentally fell that way, forever captured on film.

My cat eats q-tips

Totally not kidding. He does. I doubt if I'll ever know why. I think I've said this before, but it's definitely worth a repeat.
